Creative Moments challenge – Ribbons and Bows

I have used some reallyv old stash to make this month’s card for the Creative Moments challenge. The card and enbellishments are Kanban and Hunkydory from about 10 years ago, though the sentiments are more recent, from the 2023 Hunkydory sentiments book. The gorgeous image is from All Dressed Up and really I just had to colour her hair and face as the bow and clothes were just coloured in vanilla to match the topper behind. All Dressed Up is sponsoring this month’s challenge at Creative Moments so for a chance to winn some lovely digis and to see the creations made by the rest of the DT, do visit the chellenge blog here.

Creative Moments challenge reminder – Flora and fauna

This month’s challenge over at Creative Moments is sponsored by Polkadoodles. This gave the DT lots of scope with regard to finding beautiful digis to fit our optional twist of “Flora and Fauna”. This card was made using Happy Easter Chick, and with a few days to go, you still have time to order and make some Easter cards using Polkadoodles super-cute range. Because the digistamps come with a transparent background, I was able to layer over one of Polkadoodles’ backgrounds for colouring to make a little scene. (Sctroll down to see the digi in its “raw” form.) The Ribbon, cross sticker and decorative paper were all from my stash.

Card bringing joy

This digistamp is called Blossoming Winnie and is available from Polkadoodles and she just fills me with joy! I have coloured her in various colourways, but this week matched the colouring to “Chloe’s Bumper papare pack” that came with a magazine, These coral colours are perfect for sending someone best wishes.

Happy Mothers’ Day

Dear Mothers – you are awesome. I am the oldest woman in my line now, so I no longer send cards for Mothering Sunday. However I make them for my children to send to their paternal grandmother and to their Godmother. This card is made from a Hunkydory kit called So Chic. I made the 3d flower by sticking peel-offs onto patterned paper, cutting them out and layering. The sentiment was printed from a home computer.

Challenges: Mirtillamente – anything goes •A Gem of a Challenge – Anything Goes •Sheepski – Anything goes •Polkadoodles – Anything goes •AAA Cards – CAS Birthday •I Spy With My Little Eye Something beginning with B (birds) •Ellibelle’s Crafty Wednesday – Anything Goes •Creations in Pink – Mainly Pink •Let’s Craft & Create Challenge – Polka Dot
